Hi @all,
TP-Link WA901ND, Gargoyle 1.7.0
Problem:
Code: Select all
root@BAR-WLC06:/tmp# crontab -e
crontab: can't open '/etc/crontabs.16205': No space left on device
root@BAR-WLC06:/tmp# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 320.0K 256.0K 64.0K 80% /
/dev/root 2.5M 2.5M 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 14.1M 428.0K 13.7M 3% /tmp
/dev/mtdblock3 320.0K 256.0K 64.0K 80% /overlay
overlayfs:/overlay 320.0K 256.0K 64.0K 80% /
tmpfs 512.0K 0 512.0K 0% /dev
64KB available, why doesn't it work and how I can start cron at boot time?
[EDIT]/etc is not writeable, why?[/EDIT]

same problem after a few days: cron daemon is not running, crontab says "No space left on device" and /etc is not writeable
Code: Select all
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 320.0K 260.0K 60.0K 81% /
/dev/root 2.5M 2.5M 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 14.1M 84.0K 14.1M 1% /tmp
/dev/mtdblock3 320.0K 260.0K 60.0K 81% /overlay
overlayfs:/overlay 320.0K 260.0K 60.0K 81% /
tmpfs 512.0K 0 512.0K 0% /dev
Is it a known problem?

You're running out of space
4MB of flash is just not enough space for
Barrier Breaker builds of Gargoyle
You should stick with 1.6.2 on that router
Or build your own OpenWRT builds with features you need

i'm using the gargoyle-ispy
http://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/vi ... =14&t=6878 on a 4mb device and apart from minor issues it runs fine. Is there a way to recomplile gargoyle without some features in order to have more free space left on the device? Or maybe we could use par of tmp that's on tmpfs for something.

Thanks for your answer, I've downgraded to 1.6.2.
I build my own OpenWRT already since a couple of months for a TP-Link WA901ND v3 (Access Point Mode), but for my two v2 I need the pure "Client Mode", not a "Bridge". So far I know, the Client Mode is not supported with OpenWRT on Atheros chipsets and Gargoyle patches something.
Is there any way to get the "pure WLAN client" patch?
